Although Carlo Ancelotti pointed out that he is only interested in Real Madrid, who will lead from the bench in the next season, Spanish and Brazilian media report that the Italian coach has agreed with the president of the Brazilian Football Association to become the coach of this national team after the contract expires.
For the Italian coach, this would be his first experience as a coach of a national team, while Brazil would get its first foreigner as coach of the first team.
Ancelotti’s contract with Real Madrid expires in June next year, when he should leave.
The Brazilian national team should be led by Ramon Menezes, who was chosen as a temporary coach after Tite resigned after a poor result at the World Cup in Qatar.
Tite left the “Karioka” bench after being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar by Croatia.
The 64-year-old coach has been on the Real Madrid bench since 2021, and he also led the “royal club” in the period from 2013 to 2015, when he brought the 10th anniversary title of the Champions League to Madrid.
Apart from Real, Ancelotti also managed Everton, Napoli, Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Milan, Juventus, Parma, and Reggiana.
